The Spirit of Hope

"To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as we both shall live." On a beautiful May day six years ago, Billy and I made a promise to one another.We were young, in love, and we had it all figured out. Honeymoon in Europe, buy a house, travel, have babies, and live happily ever after. Instead, my spine injury took our fairytale in a completely different direction. Neither of us could have prepared for what we were about to face. After facing six surgeries and multiple rare health conditions, including having my kidney removed, we clung to the vows we exchanged at the altar. My trauma led me to mediumship.With hope and spirit, our lives completely changed in every way possible... for the better.
